The infernal tower, or the appeal of a vertical collection.

If I wanted to put a final point to my vitage JLC divers, I would need to find only two or three: The damn Polaris II Red, and one or two " exotic " vintage Lecoultre, such as this one:

Ref 9513:

But I am more than happy with hat I have...

Best,

Yes, quite pride of it. It took me a good ten years to build it.

So nice!

Great size form me as long as I am looking for a small to mid-size dive watch for my eldest daughter at reasonable price. Why Tudor is not making those lovely Mini Sub, Lady Sub and tiny Submariner I do not understand. People with small wrists may enjoy wearing a Deepsea every once in a while but I suspect they do it in the long term. Anyway, a very nice, quite rare, as I can see, dive watch. Thanks Nicolas.
